- Encourage your swimmer to maintain a log book of his times for his or her events as they will be needed to enter meets and monitor their improvement.
- Please help the coaching staff in reinforcing safety concerns around the locker room and pool deck. Well behaved swimmers allow our staff to focus on their coaching and not discipline problems.

- Monitor your financial obligations to help our club maintain its financial budgets. If any situation arises that prevents a familys ability to pay, please immediately contact the business manager for possible arrangements.
- I will not participate in any conduct that is considered detrimental to the team as determined by the coaching staff of SDAC.
